Abstract

There are two different views about the study of tafsir in the modern era. One group of tenet holds that the works of modern mufassir were only repetitions of classic tafsirs. This view was maintained by some scholars such as Haris Birkelad, J.J.G. Jansen, and Rotraud Wieland. On the other hand, Karen A. Bauer denied this. This work examines the interpretations of the portrait of tafsirs in the Risalah (Nahdlatul Ulama Magazine) written by Musta’in Syafi’ie from Pesantren Tebuireng, Jombang East Java, Indonesia. This study will focus on the topic of ‚Pentingnya adil bukan Islam bagi pemimpin.‛ The topic was chosen because it was presented in five editions. It is unusually special, since normally an article is issued in one or two editions. In addition, this is recenty becoming a trending topic related to the nomination of Ahok, a non-muslim, to become a governor of a muslim-majority province of Jakarta Special Capital Teritory. This study is also aimed to review the methodology of the interpretations of both technical aspects of writing and the hermeneutics. From this study, I conclude that the tafsir written by Musta’in Syafi’ie in the Risalah supports the view of the second group of tenet, i.e. the modern mufassirs do not simply copy the tafsirs from the classical period and the modern one, but, it is a new and unique model of contextual tafsir. This study used a discriptive method and content analysis. The significance of this study is to find a new methodology in the Indonesian interpretations of the Qur'an.
